That's not RGB/TTL... that's parallel 8-bit. Different ball game. RGB/TTL is either 24-bit (8 bits per color) or 16 bit (6 bits red / 6 bits green / 4 bits blue -- blue is more intense to the human eye so it only *needs* four bits vs six for another color). The thing you're talking about... that gets talked to more like a character LCD than anything else. You know the display on those old HP laser printers you used in grade school? The ones that could *only* display text, and had a dedicated spot for each character...? *That's* a character LCD. *That's* the kind of interface you're looking at here.
Dude, if all you're driving is that kinda thing... use an Arduino. If you absolutely need Web connectivity (or if you need a little number-crunching ability but not a lot), use an ESP8266. On that note -- a friend of mine has found a way to turn off an ESP8266's WiFi side if you don't need it. (Info here. <http://www.hackster.io/rayburne/esp8266-turn-off-wifi-reduce-current-big-time-1df8ae>) If you somehow need something that's more than a fractional-horsepower driver for it ;) like if you're building some kinda fancy pants Johnny Five robot... throw a RasPi at it. Here, this might provide some inspiration --> http://johan.kanflo.com/ the-commadorable-64/ Despite the name, it's a daughterboard for a display like yours, that integrates an ESP8266 and driver circuitry. You'd have to buy the parts and solder it together -- and it's almost all surface mount stuff, mind you, which is a real pain in the tail... but it's worth it from what I can see here. EOMA68 is *way* overpowered for any application using that kind of display. EOMA68 is on the level of a Dell desktop, or at least an older ASUS netbook.
